6 month old transition from swaddle to arms out sleep sack!
Hi! Our baby has used for about the 5 months the traditional hands down to the side Velcro swaddle. About a month ago we purchased the swaddle me sack that has the arm zip off wings. We started with the hands up but still both hands zipped on. Then one night did one arm out (so we removed one wing) she woke up so many…

4 Month Regression
She used to sleep okay, never great. Now it’s taking a couple of hours to put her down and get her to stay asleep, laying her down over and over again. When she finally does stay asleep, it’s normally for 20 minutes, 40 max. It’s been like this for a week. We’re absolutely exhausted and have no idea what to do. She’ll…

2 nap to 1 nap transition
My 15 month old still takes 2 naps a day and we think he’s ready to make the transition to 1 nap because he’s been waking up early and sometimes refuses to take the second nap. But I’m just afraid of how to make the transition an easy one for him without him getting overtired or too upset to take a nap. How had everyone…

Baby refuses to nap in crib
My 6 month old boy is currently being sleep trained at night and weaned off night feedings gradually. Although that’s going fairly well,( he falls asleep on his own at night and rarely wakes up,) naps in the day are tough. We’ve always done contact napping and I’ve been trying to place him in the crib once drowsy like at…

Baby Proofing Nanit Plug
What are you doing for this? The nanit is in my baby's room, but all of the outlet boxes are too small for this chunky cord plug and doesn't work with a different plug in the wall! (I tried plugging the monitor USB into a different USB plug for the wall and it doesn't turn on.) All of the boxes I've found don't seem deep…
